Re: New Interim GUI maintainer...

[Ivan Vučica]

Hi all,

To add to Gregory's remarks:

Fred has indeed left big shoes to fill. His technical understanding of internals of -gui would be hard to match. Therefore, I believe I will mostly be looking after the following:

- reviewing incoming patches, especially by new contributors

- cutting releases

Because of maturity of the codebase, the remaining :-) bugs will certainly be hard to track. I do not currently expect I'll be spending much time on that.

When Gregory asked me to consider helping out in this way, it took me a while to decide whether to accept. I also explicitly asked for the 'interim' prefix to make it explicit that I believe there _will_ be more capable hands to hand off the maintainership hat to, and that I will do in consultation with other maintainers, as needed.

This is a privilege. Thank you.

All,

Since Fred's departure we have needed a GUI maintainer.   After some discussion, Ivan Vucica has agreed to take up this role in an interim fashion.

He will primarily be looking at incoming patches and reviewing them to make sure they hold up to GNUstep standards and are consistent and functional.

Fred left big shoes to fill.  Let us all help Ivan in his new position.

Thanks, GC
